If you have some spots that need some touch up, September is a great month to add some high-quality grass seed. The major heat of the St. Louis summer is behind us, yet there is still time for the grass to take root before the cold of winter appears.

Taking these simple steps now will help guarantee a thick, green lawn that’s the envy of the neighborhood next year!

You can also give more attention to other things in your outdoor spaces by planning and preparing now.

Maybe next year is the time for that new patio or deck you’ve been thinking about, or putting in that walkway or low voltage lighting system to improve your safety, security and the overall look of your home and property.
